With recent advances in computer and communication technologies, computing systems find applications in large-scale control systems, including vehicular traffic control systems. An interesting observation for traffic control systems is that the coordination problem at intersections can be mapped to that of scheduling jobs in real-time systems. In this paper, we develop a real-time scheduling based framework that models mobile entities as real-time jobs and the shared regions along their respective paths as processors. This is used to coordinate the movement of vehicles along intersecting roads using clock-driven real-time scheduling techniques.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
